I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Hanging below the harpy, Anno watched the houses rushing past and felt the thrill of flight.

Unfortunately, the harpy was too small.

If it gets a little bigger, Anno can ride on it.

Below Anno is Liz, riding on a summoned wind wolf.

With one person and three summoned creatures, they quickly headed towards the town center.

In the square in the center of the town.

The remaining eight guards, their armor torn, covered in blood, and staggering, looked as if they might fall at any moment.

Faced with the monsters that surrounded them, the guards could only stand back to back, forming a small circle.

"Hehehe!"

A rat-man charging ahead was licking a dagger, grinning maliciously at the heavily wounded guards.

Suddenly, it paused for a moment.

Seeing the large number of monster corpses around the human guards and the blood-soaked stone slabs all around, the ratman couldn't help but take a few steps back.

The rat-man assassin was somewhat confused.

Based on its own nature, even if the human is already injured, it will not rush towards the other party.

"Let them flush!"

The ratman muttered something under his breath, then silently retreated to the back.

At the same time, all the other monsters felt a moment of disorientation.

It's as if she suddenly lost a part of her courage, and she's not as fearless in battle as before—in fact, it's because Liz became Anno's contracted object, and the [Commander] skill was removed.

The few remaining guards clearly sensed that the monsters' offensive had slowed down.

Nevertheless, facing more than thirty level 6 or higher monsters, including several level 8 monsters, it was only a matter of time before these guards fell.

"Captain Rodney, it seems this is the end of it!"

Brook wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and spoke to Rodney, who had lost an arm, behind him.

As the strongest guard in the arena, Rodney had been the focus of the monsters' attention during the previous battles.

Besides his left arm being severed, Rodney had dozens of other wounds of varying sizes on his body.

There was also an arrow stuck in his back.

Rodney was able to stand up without falling down entirely because of his indomitable will.

Hearing Brooke's words, Rodney, in a daze, murmured, "Hold on... a little longer, give... the townspeople... more time to escape."

Pfft!

As soon as Rodney finished speaking, one of the seriously wounded guards next to him collapsed to the ground, lifeless!

The guards who were still standing had no time to grieve for the fallen, because the monsters began to attack again.

When Anor was taken to the battlefield by the harpy, only Rodney and Brook were still struggling to hold on.

Judging from the situation, both of them are already at their limit.

"Thirty-six monsters. One is level 9, seven are level 8, and the rest are level 6 or 7!"

Anno had the harpy circle twice in the low sky to get a clear view of the monsters below, then landed next to Rodney and the other man, summoned the goblin priest and other summoned creatures, and then took off again.

Anno's appearance alongside the harpy attracted the attention of the monsters.

They naturally recognized the harpies.

Shouldn't the latter be with the succubus lady? Why is she here with a human?

Furthermore, why did goblin priests and other monsters suddenly appear?

When the summoning goblin priest raised his wand, the condensed fireball didn't hurtle the humans, but instead flew towards the monster party, all the monsters were stunned.

Especially the goblins.

They never imagined that the priest's magic would fall upon them.

"boom!"

As the fireball exploded, several monsters at the center of the blast were instantly reduced to pieces.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the remaining monsters glared angrily at the goblin priest.

Especially the highest-level 9 kobolds.

It charged toward the goblin priest, axe in hand.

However, the goblin priest was protected by several summoned creatures.

Armed with weapons, they met the charging monsters.

After placing Anno on a high point, the harpy swooped down towards the monsters below.

"Awoo~"

Liz, who arrived riding a wind wolf, shouted a retreat order to the monsters that were fighting, and ordered the level 9 kobold to lead a few monsters to cover the rear.

This order puzzled the monsters for a while.

Humanity is clearly failing, so why retreat now?

Even if they don't understand, they can only obey the leader's orders.

Except for one group of monsters that stayed behind to cover the rear, the other monsters followed Liz and left.

Anno breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the plan was going smoothly.

Although Anno is now level 8 and has collected some summoning materials and green-grade souls.

However, facing more than thirty elite demons at the same time, he dared not say that he would definitely win.

By using Liz to separate the monster troops little by little, the difficulty is reduced considerably.

Anno commands his summoned creatures to attack the remaining monsters, while he watches from the rooftop.

Including the level 9 kobolds, there were a total of six monsters, which was less than the number of Anno's summons.

With harpies attacking from above from time to time, the monsters around the kobold were all dead in less than a minute.

Now, the kobolds must face attacks from summoned goblin warriors, dodge attacks from summoned slimes and goblin priests, and guard against harpies' sneak attacks.

Before long, it was already covered in wounds.

boom!

The goblin priest's magic blasted the kobold and the summoned goblins away.

Then the harpy swooped down from above, its sharp claws tearing several claw marks, each a dozen centimeters long, into the kobold's body, splattering blood everywhere.

Taking advantage of the kobold's weakened state, the harpy let out another [Spellbreaker Scream], and her wings flapped wind blades that relentlessly struck the kobold.

Then, under the goblin priest's attack of another large fireball, the kobold, who had been tormented, finally collapsed!

[Obtain Kobold Souls (Green) x1]

After Anno had his summoned creatures retrieve the necessary summoning materials from the monster corpses, he grabbed the harpy's claws and chased after Liz.

There are still more than thirty monsters on Liz's side, and Anno doesn't want to let them go.

As for the seriously injured Rodney and Brooke, Anno noticed them, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Staying behind wouldn't heal their injuries.

Liz learned through telepathy that Anno was rushing towards her, so she separated five more of the thirty monsters.

Although her order was to send these monsters to scout the area, in reality, it was to send them to Anno's death.

Anno quickly caught up with the five monsters that had broken away from the group.

Attendant to a swarm of summoned creatures, these monsters quickly turned into corpses.

The remaining monsters, led by Liz, kept wandering around the town.

The number of monsters also kept decreasing, and soon only five remained.

"Succubus, why did your harpy attack us just now? And what are we looking for while we're circling around here?"

A goblin looked at Liz ahead and mustered its courage to ask.

Liz turned and glared at the goblin, saying sharply, "What, are you questioning my decision?"

Under the effect of [Disguise], Liz's imposing aura startled the level 7 goblin.

The goblin replied in a trembling voice, "No, no, Lady Succubus, spare my life, spare my life!"

It was terrified that the succubus's whip would lash it.

"Spare me?"

Riding her wind wolf, Liz looked up at the man emerging from the alley ahead, a smile spreading across her face. "I think my master might not spare your lives!"

"What?"

The monsters, who had assumed a fighting stance because of Anno's appearance, were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out when they heard Liz say the word "master".

Several summoned creatures that had been lying in ambush appeared from the surrounding area and surrounded the remaining five monsters.

"kill!"

Under Anno's command, the summoned creatures launched an attack on the monster.

Liz jumped off the wind wolf, ran to Anno's side, hugged his arm, pouted, and said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Master, I've completed the task you assigned me very well!"

Liz's tone and expression at that moment were like those of a pet waiting for praise.

"Very good, very good!" Anno patted Liz's head with satisfaction.

If it weren't for Liz, these dozens of monsters would have been really difficult to deal with.

Hehe~!

Liz looked pleased and leaned on Anno's shoulder.

When the last monster fell dead, Anno couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"The battle is finally over!"
